Conical mixer/cooker for food products
Cooking and sterilising using steam and adding liquids
Mixing, stirring, cooking and sterilising are basic operations in food production and processing and sometimes require special adaptation of the equipment to the raw materials and the process.
These machines, with their conical construction and rotating mixing screw, have proven particularly useful for processing natural products such as coffee beans, cocoa nibs, gluten or nuts such as chestnuts.
Benefits:
Gentle processing of the raw materials is ensured at all times by the slowly rotating mixing screw, which is guided along the wall of the vessel, thus ensuring optimal mixing. The heat transfer coefficient is high and the risk of thermal damage to the products is low. Complete discharge and easy cleaning are important processing advantages of the conical shape. The entire process takes place within a closed system and can therefore be kept sanitary and even sterile - the product is protected at all times.

Various processes such as:
Special equipment required for food processing can be provided, such as the following: Heating with direct steam or via a heating/cooling jacket, the use of a vacuum- and pressure-resistant design, the rapid addition of liquids, CIP cleaning or WIP systems with partial flooding, various outlet and inlet facilities, instruments and special variants - all adapted to your requirements.
Pilot mixers with a processing volume of 10 to 175 litres are provided for test purposes. They are easy to transport and offer the same comprehensive functions and accessories as our fully developed conical cookers.
Typical configuration data for conical cookers:
- Mixing and admixing
- Injection/absorption of aromas or fats
- Cooking and sterilising
- Kneading
- Ventilation
